interesting sound, nice rhythm. But from 03.12 so it seems as if your fascination reached a critical stage. ;) Andreas Title: Re: Indian Mystique Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 08, 2008, 02:56:31 PM Hey Andreas,
The drums are from my Korg Triton Extreme and everything else is from my Novation XioSynth...until now,I never thought I would be combining sounds from a $3,000 synth,with a $400 synth! ;D Yes indeed,it is critical for me to find an Indian woman and if I have my way,it will be done! ;D Thanks, Thom Title: Re: Indian Mystique Post by: Oren on May 08, 2008, 05:19:36 PM Some sweet sounds, there, Thom!
I like the song. One item that deserves comment is how complete each of the sounds from the Xio-Synth are, and how cluttered the soundscape can become when layering. It seems that a good policy when using this synth is to exercise restraint. This tool can deliver a powerful musical message, Oren. Title: Re: Indian Mystique Post by: Laguna Rising on May 08, 2008, 08:09:47 PM There are unusual textures and evocative sounds here, I think you rendered very well the exotic idea of a different culture
Very nice tune Cheers Title: Re: Indian Mystique Post by: MarioD on May 08, 2008, 11:37:45 PM Thom, very nice.
But the song should have ended at 3:11. After that you lost me! It was great up till then! Title: Re: Indian Mystique Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 09, 2008, 12:39:52 AM Oren,
I agree with you,that I went overboard with the layering,but it was in a fit of passion over the array of programs & effects I have to play with and I just went hog wild. However though,the drums are completely dry(with the exception of a compression effect),so that's why I had fun with the effects on the XioSynth. Thanks for your input, Thom :) Title: Re: Indian Mystique Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 09, 2008, 12:44:04 AM L.R.,
Thanks very much for your kind words...I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D Mario, Yeah,the ending is harsh,but I wanted a really hardcore exotic impact. Glad you liked the first 3 quarters of it though. :) Thanks, Thom |
